ANTIQUE #SA1024786

19th Century Regency Gilt Convex Mirror

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Lee Wright Antiques & Interiors Ltd

An Excellent and Unusual Regency Period Convex Mirror With Hunting Horn and Wheat Sheaf Motifs.
 
A fine regency period convex mirror with eagle cresting, unusually rendered in black and gold rather than simply one or the other. The eagle sits atop branches and then the mirror plate with a relatively simple moulded frame. Below the frame is a very unusual ornament consisting of a hunting horn and sheafs of wheat, probably indicating that the mirror was made for the country house of a lady or gentleman landowner with sporting interests.
 
A very unusual example of its kind and probably made as a special commission for a particular client.
 
Beautiful, original gilding.
